How to make your ideas count using visualisations

Making your ideas count through visualisation is an important part of IT System Development.

I came across this article by Jennifer Riel, Associate Director of the Desautels Centre for Integrative Thinking at the Rotman School of Management and Stefanie Schram, Senior Associate at Rotman DesignWorks, which teaches tools from the realm of design to further innovation to MBA students and executives.

In it they explain the value of creating visualisations to help you clarify your thoughts and ideas, real important in Systems Delivery.

Jennifer says” Sketching Perhaps the most popular and straightforward form of visualisation, a sketch is a two-dimensional rendering on paper or a screen of the essence of your idea. It can be a simple picture or a complex system diagram. Particularly for physical objects, sketches can quickly and powerfully convey the essence of the idea.”

Sketching is an important part of creating visualisations for IT System Development so make sure they convey the message you want to get across!
